Hard pass, not my cup of tea. Wish it the best though.

Yes, there is cross play.Getting it on PC. Based MS with Play Anywhere, wonder if we can coop with Xbox players.
They will be talking more about story when close to launch.They could really use a story trailer to contextualize everything we've seen. I have yet to really feel anything about this game.
Kamiya has a flawless track record when it comes to directing games. I have faith in him and in Scalebound.
With that said, Scalebound looks like the type of game that would benefit greatly from the extra power that the Scorpio will provide.
His games would better fit in the Playstation catalog. I wonder why he chose to make an Xbox exclusive

Bigger doesn't always mean better, Kamiya. Take the Scalebound E3 demo for instance; it supposedly showed Platinum's biggest boss battle ever, but it was a totally dull and lifeless fight. Compare it to the boss in the Nier Automata trailer, and it looks awful by comparison.
Because Nier is a pure action game, Scalebound is an RPG, it's open world, there are cities, leveling, dungeons, exploration. It's not a 10 hours long game. You can't compare the two games.

"Biggest boss fight ever"?
Don't tell me you forgot about Wonderful 101, Kamiya?
It baffles me that there are people who think Kamiya's incapable of making a good game.
I mean he hasn't directed a bad one yet. Unless you're a weirdo who doesn't like Viewtiful Joe 2.

Maybe for its scope, but im sure this wont ve Platinum worst selling game by far.Wonderful 101 showed that Kamiya works best when he has a strong personality in his team telling him "no, this doesn't work"
Scalebound is a perfect example of why this is needed.
It may be his biggest game and something he has always wanted to make but it doesn't work.
Scalebound is not only disappointing mechanically, (based in what we have seen) it's also a game without an audience.
The typical person who is into platinum and Japanese action/RPG games in general are going to be turned off by the smug, focus tested Western protagonist. Not to mention the combat looks far too grindy and simplistic, even for Monster hunter fans.
The typical Xbox gamer, outside of platform evangelists are still not on the Japanese approach to fantasy that is still present in the game.
The typical casual gamer (and granted this is conjecture) is not going to have a good time with the dexterity requirements that a Kamiya game requires. His games have never been "press A for awesome" and will require a significant time investment to get to the meat and potatoes.
I'm sure there will be a few contrarians who proclaim this as the best thing ever, but right now, the games chances are not looking great. It's now had 2 e3s to create hype and one gamescom. The overall consenus is the game looks mediocre at best, slight offensive at worse.
If it doesn't exicte the small base here that at one point lived and breathed platinum, it has no chance in the wider market, where infintely more desirable projects like quantum break and ROTR have struggled.
Right now, people should more concern that Microsoft doesn't pull the plug and take Platinum (and by extension, Nier) with it.
